The Prince William who is beginning

monies and receptions III Germany is the
eldest son of the crown prince and grand
son of the old emperor. BY an eXtraor-
binary concurrence of circumstances he
has become heir apparent to the throne.
with Two dying men between it and him.
He has one foot on the throne, and as the
death Of the old emperor and crown
prince may occur any day, and must, i'm
the nature of things, occur shortly. the
Germans already look upon him as their
emperor. lie is half English, his mother
being the eldest daughterof Queen Vic
toria, which makes him nephew of the
Prince of Wales, the future king of En-
gland. The outside world knows little
of the young PRINCE and that little is not
favorable. His spirit and bearing are
strictly military, and his temper is, per
haps, peremptOry and intOlerant. lie
holds Bismarck in high esteem, and the
great old chancellor will have a good in
iluence over him. But the great old
chancellor cannot himself long survive
his august MASTER as he calls the old
emperor, and when he dies the young
emperor will come under the influence
of SOME other prime minister-whom, no
one knows.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

The Indian territory lying south OF
Kansas, west OF Arkansas and north of
Texas. and stretching west to the Texa.
Panhandle. contains "a. 2222 square miles
an area nearly as large az that of the
New England states, and the total mum

latiOn. or 1900 acres for every family OF
five persons. The ninety-eighth NERD

about twO-thirds its area on the east Of

The greater part Of the Indian popula-
Observation-Disclosures found east of this
line; only 1900. embracing the remnants
Of the ArrapahOe, Cheyenne, Wichita,
KiOwa and COmanche tribes, live wesl
of il. Commissioner Atkins of the
Indian bureau has twice recommended
that all the tribes be removed east OF
the ninety-eighth meridian and the
western third Of the territory be thrown
open To white settlement-and he re-
peats the recommendation i'm his late
report. He states that if all the Indians
In the United States, excluding Alaska
100000 in number) were located in the
Indian territory, they could have los
acres of land each, or 100 acres for each
family Of five persons. There are ,6S3,
600 acres of still uncccupied land east
of the meridian, and the tribes now
living west Of il would be located on
these. There would then be 10000
Indians on special reservation of
il.OO0, 600 acres-an allowance ample for
all purposes. The western third of the
territory, containing 100000 acres.
would then be thrown open TO settle
ment; add 10 il the Public Strip, or mo
Mans Land" on the west, containing
1862, 900 acres, and there would be an
area of l7,4l2.0O0 acres-large enough
TO form state One-half the size of
Illinois.
The Indian commissioner says in his
report: The vast surplusage of land
in the Indian Territory, much of itInot
surpassed in fertility and versatility OF
production, which can never be utilized
by the Indians now within its borders
nor by their defendants, must sooner
or latter be disposed of by congress
some way or other lie therefore pro-
poses that in justice to the Indians, and
to protect them from irruptions, the
wild tribes west of the ninety-eighth
meridian be removed east of that line.
and the western part of the territory be
given up to the whites.
